What the difference between rna and dna in number of strands?

the difference between DNA and RNA AS DNA ARE DOUBLE STANDED AND RNA IS SINGLE STANDED


Difference between the DNA and RNA?

the difference is that DNA is a double helix and RNA is a single chain


What is the difference between virus and baterias?

Bacteria has both DNA and RNA where as Virus has either DNA or RNA


What is the difference between cytidine in DNA and cytidine in RNA?

Cytidine is composed of one molecule each of cytosine and ribose. The cytosine molecule is the same between DNA and RNA, the difference is in the sugar backbone. In RNA it is ribose while in DNA it is deoxyribose.


Where are strands of RNA made?

in eukaryotes, RNA is synthetised in the nucleus from DNA, using RNA-polymerase. in prokaryotes, RNA is synthetised in the cytoplasm (DNA has no nucleus), using RNA-polymerase as well.


What is a difference between rna and dna molecules?

One of the bases of RNA is uracil while one of the bases of DNA is thymine.


What is major difference between normal DNA helix and RNA helix?

DNA is double stranded while RNA only has one strand.


Where does the process of making RNA from DNA occur?

nucleus for eukaryotes, cytoplasm for prokaryotes.


What is the major difference between normal DNA double helix and RNA double helix?

The term double helix refers to the structure formed by double-stranded molecules of nucleic acids. Only DNA forms a double helix because RNA is only single-stranded.


What is the difference between RNA and DNA with respect to the bases involved?

RNA has uracil; DNA has thymine (5-methyl uracil). The other difference (and the reason for the difference in the names) is that the sugar in RNA is ribose, but in DNA it is 2-deoxyribose.


What are three main difference between RNA and DNA?

DNA has a deoxyribose sugar; RNA has a ribose sugar DNA is a double stranded helix; RNA is a single stranded helix RNA has the nitrogen base uracil instead of thymine (thymine is one of the four bases in DNA).


What is the difference between mRNA and DNA?

"mRNA" is an abbreviation for Messenger RNA. It carries the genetic code for protein to the rRNA (ribosomal RNA) and enzymes in the ribosomes where tRNA (transfer RNA) carries amino acids which are matched to the mRNA to form protein. DNA is the originating molecule containing the master copy of the code. This is copied to the mRNA first. The differences between DNA and RNA are that 1) RNA has uracil in place of thymine and 2) RNA uses ribose instead of the 2-deoxyribose in DNA. There are both double stranded and single stranded DNA and RNA in nature so this is not a defining difference. It depends on what sort of organism it is as to where these compounds are in the cell but the process is similar. In the eukaryotes, there is an extra step that takes place in the nucleus where the mRNA is first cut and spliced.
